Man shoots in the middle of hunting and mistakes deer for his son: the young man died

It is not the first time that this has happened and lately this type of errors have been repeated. A man went hunting with his son and friends, when he thought he saw a deer, he shot it … but ended up killing his own son.

The event occurred in Ohio, United States, when Bradley Smith, 63, mistook his son for a deer, a shot that ended up killing the 28-year-old boy identified as Andrew Smith.

“It’s just the worst kind of tragedy,” said Tracy Whited, spokeswoman for the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.

To the density of grasslands and trees, we must add the dim light of mid-afternoon, since according to forensic reports, and the testimony of witnesses, the shooting occurred just before dark around 5:45 pm on December 2 Whited said.
